I needed help due to a very bad domestic violence situation and they help with absolutely nothing, infact they took all my info. Social security number, license, Birth certificate, and put my info. In their computer and I guess it is so they can try to say they helped me or they can get more funding pretending to help people. Such a disgrace, I pray it catches up to them and that they have to pay back all donations! And if I could leave a zero star I would have rather, because this place is not worth 1 star!

There are so many wonderful things to appreciate at the Ronald McDonald House. So many that it…read morewould be difficult to describe them all in detail and so I'm going to focus on one area, the Moran Family Day Room. Through my own personal experience I know how difficult it is to be a parent with a child in the hospital. When all you want is for your child to be well, you forget how important it is to take care of yourself. I wish I had know then that something as incredible as the Moran Family Day Room at the Ronald McDonald House existed. There are no stipulations to whom can use their day room other than, you have a child age 0-21, in a hospital recieving care. If interested in using the facility you simply have to reach out to a member of your child or grandchilds) care team and ask. As described on their webpage, https://rmhprovidence.org/how-to-be-our-guest/day-use-program/ , they offer the following for Day Room users: Free coffee, healthy lunches, drinks & snacks Home cooked meal every night 2 private showers 2 private nap rooms Fitness room Laundry facilities: washers, dryers & detergent Enclosed courtyard & welcoming play area Support from other families going through similar situations & dedicated volunteers 24 hour shuttle service from House to hospitals As a community we are truly blessed to have this facility within our reach.

I had seen the donation boxes a few times while out at McDonald's over the years, but never stopped to ask what the Ronald McDonald House was or what they do. Well, I was very pleased and delighted to learn about all that and more today! They are an incredible organization that provides housing and support to families with children and young adults who are admitted to the nearby hospitals. Not only do they provide beautifully furnished rooms for the families, they also provide everything from clean linens and towels and home-cooked dinners, all in a gorgeous and recently renovated three story building that is within walking distance from Hasbro Children's Hospital, Rhode Island Hospital, and Women & Infants Hospital. We were the dinner volunteers of the day, and worked together as a team to prepare a meal of macaroni and cheese, salad, and baked chicken for the families who reside here. After we spent about an hour in the building's spacious kitchen, we were given a guided tour of the House by Tina Ledo, their Development Associate. She showed us all around, including a family room where kids and their parents can unwind after a long day, a conference room that is open for community meeting use, and a lovely day room that families who are not staying at the House but have children in the hospital can use to recharge between visits. It was absolutely wonderful to see what an amazing place the Ronald McDonald House is, and to hear the stories of how they have helped families with children in the hospital for 30 years and counting! Thank you again for giving us Providence Yelpers an extremely rewarding volunteer opportunity. I very much look forward to volunteering in the future!

Overall, the organization works to make the West Side a thriving neighborhood for living, visiting, shopping, and eating by supporting those that live here, have businesses here and who visit. As in any political climate, sometimes you agree all the time and sometimes you don't. But only the best intentions for developing a thriving section of Providence are what is at the heart. Love it.

I've drove past it for the last 4 years and always wanted to go inside but never did. They always have signs out there with great deals and the other day I finally stopped to check it out. The sign said something like .25 leggings and Easter Basket stuff for .25 each as well. So I wanted to check it out I had time. I walked in and I met Debbie who runs it, she is a delight. She was so kind and genuine and you can tell her heart is pure. She was funny and when I wanted to buy something and realized they only take Cash or Venmo I believe I didn't have either she told me it's okay, just take it. You can give it to me next time. I ended up finding some change in my car. Debbie insisted on me grabbing more clothing for a severely discounted rate ( little did she know, I was having surgery the next day and will be out of work and out of money for a few weeks) sure was an Angel working in there at that moment when I needed them most. They have student volunteers helping out. They have a good selection of donations. Please support a non-profit or dedicate some of your time and volunteer. Their cause is amazing and I would love for more people to check it out. I even told my mom and she's going to check it out.
